2026 Speech: Tinubu’s New Year message 

President Bola Tinubu says 2026 marks the beginning of a more robust phase of economic growth.

The President stated this on Thursday in his New Year’s message to Nigerians,

Fellow Compatriots,

I welcome you all to 2026, with gratitude to God and confidence in our collective resolve that this new year will be a more prosperous one for our nation, our citizens, and all who call Nigeria home.

During 2025, we sustained the momentum on our major reforms. We had a fiscal reset and also recorded steady economic progress.

Despite persistent global economic headwinds, we recorded tangible and measurable gains, particularly in the economy.

These achievements reaffirm our belief that the difficult but necessary reforms we embarked upon are moving us in the right direction with more concrete results on the horizon for the ordinary Nigerian.

As we enter 2026, our focus is on consolidating these gains and continuing to build a resilient, sustainable, inclusive, and growth-oriented economy.

We closed 2025 on a strong note. Despite the policies to fight inflation, Nigeria recorded a robust GDP growth each quarter, with annualised growth expected to exceed 4 per cent for the year.

We maintained trade surpluses and achieved greater exchange rate stability. Inflation declined steadily and reached below 15 per cent, in line with our target.

In 2026, we are determined to reduce inflation further and ensure that the benefits of reform reach every Nigerian household.

In 2025, the Nigerian Stock Exchange outperformed its peers, posting a robust 48.12 per cent gain and consolidating its bullish run that began in the second half of 2023.

Supported by sound monetary policy management, our foreign reserves stood at $45.4 billion as of December 29, 2025, providing a substantial buffer against external shocks for the Naira. We expect this position to strengthen further in the new year.

Foreign direct investment is also responding positively. In the third quarter of 2025, FDI rose to $720 million, up from $90 million in the preceding quarter, reflecting renewed investor confidence in Nigeria’s economic direction, which global credit rating agencies, including Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s, have consistently affirmed and applauded.

A few days ago, I presented the 2026 Appropriation Bill to the National Assembly.

In that address, I emphasised that our administration has implemented critical reforms that are laying a solid foundation for long-term stability and prosperity.

With patience, fiscal discipline, and unity of purpose, Nigeria will emerge in 2026 stronger and better positioned for sustained growth.

As inflation and interest rates moderate, we expect increased fiscal space for productive investment in infrastructure and human capital development.

We are also confronting the challenge of multiple taxation across all tiers of government. I commend states that have aligned with the national tax harmonisation agenda by adopting harmonised tax laws to reduce the excessive burden of taxes, levies, and fees on our people and on basic consumption.

The new year marks a critical phase in implementing our tax reforms, designed to build a fair, competitive, and robust fiscal foundation for Nigeria.

By harmonising our tax system, we aim to raise revenue sustainably, address fiscal distortions and strengthen our capacity to finance infrastructure and social investments that will deliver shared prosperity.

My fellow Nigerians, the path of reform is never easy, but it is necessary. We remain mindful that economic progress must be accompanied by security and peace.

Our nation continues to confront security threats from criminal and terrorist elements determined to disrupt our way of life.

In collaboration with international partners, including the United States, decisive actions were taken against terrorist targets in parts of the Northwest on December 24.

Our Armed Forces have since sustained operations against terror networks and criminal strongholds across the Northwest and Northeast.

In 2026, our security and intelligence agencies will deepen cooperation with regional and global partners to eliminate all threats to national security.

We remain committed to protecting lives, property, and the territorial integrity of our country.

I continue to believe that a decentralised policing system with appropriate safeguards, complemented by properly regulated forest guards, all anchored on accountability, is critical to effectively addressing terrorism, banditry, and related security challenges.

The new year marks the beginning of a more robust phase of economic growth, with tangible improvements in the lives of our people.

We will accelerate the implementation of the Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme, aiming to bring at least 10 million Nigerians into productive economic activity by empowering at least 1,000 people in each of the 8,809 wards across the country.

Through agriculture, trade, food processing, and mining, we will stimulate local economies and expand grassroots opportunities.

We will also continue to invest in modernising Nigeria’s infrastructure – roads, power, ports, railways, airports, pipelines, healthcare, education, and agriculture to strengthen food security and improve quality of life.

All ongoing projects will continue without interruption.

To achieve our objectives in 2026, we must all play our part.

Nation-building is a shared responsibility. We must stand together in unity and purpose, uphold patriotism, and serve our country with honour and integrity in our respective roles.

Let us resolve to be better citizens, better neighbours, and better stewards of our nation.

Fellow Nigerians, I wish you all a peaceful, productive, and prosperous New Year.

May God continue to bless and protect our beloved country, keep our troops safe and destroy the enemies bent on disrupting our national peace, security and stability.

Happy New Year to you all.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR

President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,

Federal Republic of Nigeria

  1. Люди помогите советом Цены космос а качество мыло То фасады кривые Короче, реальные ребята с цехом в СПб — кухни на заказ в спб с установкой Сделали за три недели как обещали В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — кухни на заказ санкт петербург [url=https://kuhni-spb-uio.ru]https://kuhni-spb-uio.ru[/url] Проверяйте производителя по этому списку Перешлите тому кто тоже мучается

  2. Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at vitalsnippet extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.

  3. Здорова, народ Цены космос а качество мыло То ЛДСП 16 мм а не 18 Короче, единственные кто не наваривается в тридорога — кухни в спб от производителя из массива Цены ниже чем в салонах тысяч на 30-40 В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — кухни на заказ питер [url=https://kuhni-spb-wxh.ru]https://kuhni-spb-wxh.ru[/url] Не ведитесь на салоны в ТЦ которые просто заказывают у китайцев и ставят наценку 100% Перешлите тому кто тоже мучается выбором

  4. Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at gemglobe furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.

  5. melbet дастгирӣ бо тоҷикӣ [url=https://melbet73919.online/]melbet дастгирӣ бо тоҷикӣ[/url]

  6. Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at stitchvamp confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.

  7. The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at flankivory kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.

  8. Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at gorgefair extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.

  9. Доброго дня, земляки Цены задрали как на золото То доставку три месяца ждать Короче, мужики с руками из нужного места — купить кухню в спб от производителя с гарантией Замер на следующий день В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — кухни от производителя спб [url=https://kuhni-spb-fpk.ru]https://kuhni-spb-fpk.ru[/url] Проверяйте производителя по этому списку Перешлите тому кто тоже мучается

  10. Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after taffetaswan I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

  11. Thanks for not padding this with the usual filler intros and outros that every other blog seems to require, and a quick visit to summitshire continued that lean approach across more posts, content stripped of waste is content that respects you and I will always come back to that kind of approach.

  12. Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at fumefig confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.

  13. Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at thisdomainisdishk kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

  14. Worth a slow read rather than the fast scan I usually default to, and a look at sofatavern earned the same slower pace from me, content that resets my reading speed downward is content with substance worth absorbing and this site has produced that effect on me multiple times now over the last week here.

  15. Worth saying that this is one of the better things I have read on the topic in months, and a stop at genieframe reinforced that ranking, the topic is well covered by many sources but few do it with this level of care and the few that do deserve to be flagged so other readers can find them.

  16. Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at islegoal kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.

  17. The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at kelpherb continued in the same accessible style, technical topics often hide behind specialised vocabulary but here the writer trusts the reader to keep up with plain language and that trust pays off nicely throughout the entire post.

  18. Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at gulfkoala similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.

  19. Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at gorgeheron confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.

  20. Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at flaskkelp continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.

  21. Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at safaritriton extended that intention, the urge to thank the writer directly is a strong signal of content quality and this site has triggered that urge in me today which is a fairly rare event for my reading.

  22. A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at stencilveto extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

  23. Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at velourturban confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.

  24. Now noticing that the post never raised its voice even when making a strong point, and a look at fumefinch continued that calm volume, content that can make important points without resorting to typographic emphasis or emotional appeal is content that trusts its substance to do the work and this site has that confidence consistently.

  25. Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to vandaltavern only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.

  26. Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at jadeflax continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.

  27. Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at gladfir added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.

  28. Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at solotoffee hit the same balance, the right length is one of the hardest things to calibrate in blog writing and I appreciate when a team has clearly thought about it rather than defaulting.

  29. Здорова, Питер Цены задрали как на золото То фасады перекошены Короче, реальное производство в Питере — заказать кухню с фурнитурой Blum Замер на следующий день В общем, сохраняйте в закладки — купить кухню на заказ спб [url=https://kuhni-spb-fpk.ru]https://kuhni-spb-fpk.ru[/url] Проверяйте производителя по этому списку Перешлите тому кто тоже мучается

  30. Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at gorgeivy kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.

  31. Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at flintgala continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.

  32. Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at shrinetender reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.

  33. Just dropping by to say thanks for the effort, it does not go unnoticed when a writer cares this much about the reader, and after I went through jetfrost I was certain this is one of the better corners of the internet for this particular kind of content which is genuinely refreshing.

  34. If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at slacktally extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.

  35. J’ai essayé plusieurs sites sans jamais être convaincu. Télécharger un fichier fiable devenait vraiment compliqué. J’ai vérifié les dernières mises à jour pour lancer le processus sans erreur. J’ai finalement déniché la bonne source et je voulais vous partager tous les détails, vous pouvez consulter les informations à jour ici: télécharger 1xbet pour android [url=https://countryontheriver.com]télécharger 1xbet pour android[/url]. Bref, ce que je voulais vous dire — la dernière version est super fluide et intuitive.

    les mises à jour se font automatiquement. Je vous partage mon expérience personnelle — c’est clairement l’application la plus performante du marché. Bonne chance à tous…

  36. Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to ketohale I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.

  37. A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at veilshore extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.

  38. Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at herbharp provided more material for that potential mention, content worth referencing in my own published work rather than just personal reading is content with the highest endorsement level and this site has earned that endorsement.

  39. Доброго времени Продаваны врут про материалы То сроки по полгода обещают Короче, нашел наконец нормальное производство — кухни в спб от производителя из массива Замерщик приехал на следующий день В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — заказать кухню в спб от производителя [url=https://kuhni-spb-wxh.ru]https://kuhni-spb-wxh.ru[/url] Не ведитесь на салоны в ТЦ которые просто заказывают у китайцев и ставят наценку 100% Сам столько нервов потратил теперь делюсь опытом

  40. Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at velourturban extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.

  41. Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at gladhalo reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.

  42. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to fumegrove kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  43. Слушайте кто ремонт затеял Менеджеры врут про сроки и материалы То доставку три месяца ждать Короче, нашел нормальных производителей — кухни СПб от производителя напрямую Фасады на выбор из 50 цветов В общем, вся инфа вот тут — изготовление кухонь на заказ в санкт петербурге [url=https://kuhni-spb-ytr.ru]https://kuhni-spb-ytr.ru[/url] Не ведитесь на салоны-прокладки с накруткой Сам полгода выбирал теперь знаю

  44. Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at sampleshadow suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.

  45. Люди подскажите Цены задрали как на золото То доставку месяц ждать Короче, нашел наконец нормальную контору — кухни на заказ в спб с фурнитурой Blum Замер на следующий день В общем, там цены и каталог работ — купить кухню в спб от производителя [url=https://kuhni-spb-nbg.ru]купить кухню в спб от производителя[/url] Не ведитесь на салоны-прокладки с наценкой 200% Сам полгода выбирал теперь знаю

  46. Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at silovault continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.

  47. A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at gullgoal maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.

  48. Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at goshfrost extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.

  49. During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at flockergo extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.

  50. Now setting up a small reminder to revisit the site on a slow day, and a stop at jetivory confirmed the reminder was a good idea, planning return visits is a small organisational act that signals trust in ongoing quality and this site has earned that planned return through consistent performance across the pieces I have read so far.
